Recipe: Gluten-free Gingerbread Cake

My mom was having a lot of stomach trouble for awhile and my brother and sister-in-law finally convinced her to try going off of gluten to see what happened. (My brother is gluten intolerant himself.) She discovered that her stomach felt better when she ate less wheat, so she is avoiding it most of the time. She made this change shortly before Mother’s Day, so I decided to try to find a gluten-free gingerbread recipe to make for her since that is her favorite cake.

My husband actually ended up making it since he has made it his job to do the cooking on Sunday mornings in our house, and he likes baking particularly. :-) It turned out really well. It was rather heavy, but then gingerbread often is. We had bought Bob’s Red Mill brand “one-for-one” gluten free flour which is what he used.

The cake does have a distinct molasses flavor, so if you dislike molasses, this might not be for you. The nice thing is that it makes two cakes, so you can freeze one for later use if you like. :-) By the way, since I didn’t have two 9x9” pans, I think he ended up using two 7x11” pans.

It is yummy! :-) Yes, it has been a blessing that he pitches in to help that way sometimes. When we first got married I had a lot more health issues than I do now - or rather, more limitng ones. He decided he needed to learn to be comfortable cooking. He found he really enjoys baking, and the cooking is not too bad either. :-)

About Me

I am a follower of the Lord Jesus Christ first and foremost, a keeper at home wife and a writer. This blog is an extension of my web site "The Home Maker's Corner". The topics here will be pretty widely varied - recipes and household helps, Bible studies, health, humor, photography, poetry, Christian issues, and other random items. I hope you find something useful to you. :-)
Psalm 103:1 Bless the LORD , O my soul: and all that is within me, bless his holy name. 2 Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits: 3 Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases; 4 Who redeemeth thy life from destruction; who crowneth thee with lovingkindness and tender mercies; 5 Who satisfieth thy mouth with good things; so that thy youth is renewed like the eagle's.
